Nymphomaniac: Volume 2

NYMPHOMANIAC: VOLUME II picks up with the story of Joe's adulthood, where her journey of self-discovery leads to darker complications.

Charlotte Gainsbourg is Joe, the masochistic sex addict in "Nymphomaniac: Volume I" and "Nymphomaniac: Volume II," strictly a narrator in the former when Stacy Martin plays Joe as a young woman, taking over during the latter when as Gainsbourg describes it, "she's really going down the line, when her sex life is getting at its worst and the suffering becomes quite unbearable."

A woman who has had sex with thousands of men, as her new friend Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) observes, and who by her own admission would sometimes have sex with eight to 10 men in a single night, she presented challenges to the actress playing her.
